The most beautiful women in the US will all be in Vegas…well, at least on Saturday night. A group of 53 beauty queens from all over the country will compete with everything they’ve got to win the Miss America 2010 crown.

The winner will receive a $50,000 scholarship and a yearlong responsibility and privilege to represent the organization and raise awareness for her chosen platform. The winner will be crowned by reigning Miss America Katie Stam.

The women came from 50 states plus the District of Columbia, Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.

The panel of judges include Rush Limbaugh, actress Vivica Fox, musician Dave Koz, Miss America 2002 Katie Harman, gymnast Shawn Johnson and former “American Idol” finalist Brooke White.

The Miss America pageant will be televised live on cable network TLC and is hosted by actor and “Extra” host Mario Lopez, and Clinton Kelly of TLC’s “What Not to Wear.”
